Commodore International and CD PROJEKT RED have partnered to produce the Commodore 77, a special Cyberpunk 2077-branded take on the classic Commodore 64.
The collector-focused release combines a distinctive physical design—complete with metal accents, LEDs, and graffiti-style markings—with a bespoke software package that CD PROJEKT RED and Commodore say expands the game's universe.
Pre-orders for the Commodore 77 are available today, with pricing starting at $377.
The Commodore 77 package centers on an exclusive, non-interactive demo developed for the platform by long-standing Polish C64 demo group Arise.
Commodore describes the item as "an original demo, offering an all-new experience that expands the lore of the Cyberpunk universe," and notes the demo will be distributed on a unique “Arasaka” cartridge inspired by imagery from Cyberpunk 2077.
Chiptune artist LukHash provided an original soundtrack for the demo; Commodore lists the music as 24-channel stereo SID composition.
Key Commodore 77 inclusions and specs:
- Exclusive ‘Shard’ cartridge with an 8-bit Cyberpunk demo from Commodore x Arise Designs and 24-channel stereo SID music by LukHash
- Upgraded AMD Artix 7 XC7A100T processor tuned for a 77MHz top speed
- Spiral-bound user guide with Cyberpunk 2077-inspired type-in BASIC programs and accompanying lore
- Commodore x Cyberpunk 2077 enamel pins and stickers
- Extra-long HDMI cable and a world power adapter
Commodore CEO Christian Simpson framed the collaboration as a meeting of shared ethos and fandom, saying that older, open hardware has a creative freedom aligned with Cyberpunk 2077’s themes.
He noted mutual appreciation between the companies—he is a longtime fan of the game and learned that CD PROJEKT RED leadership, including joint CEO Michał Nowakowski, are Commodore 64 enthusiasts as well—describing the project as a case where the partnership reflects both art and lived passion.
Patrick Mills, Franchise Content Strategy Lead at CD PROJEKT RED, emphasized the tactile, tangible nature of the Commodore 77 hardware and said the device and its demo were intended to feel as if they had been lifted from Night City into real life.
Mills added that the release also connects the contemporary Cyberpunk universe with the established C64 demo scene as a demonstration of technical craft.
This physical collector’s edition contrasts with digital distribution channels such as eShop and platform showcases like Nintendo Direct, underlining a continuing market for tangible, themed hardware among fans of legacy systems and modern franchises.
Pre-orders for the Commodore 77 are live now, starting at $377.
